Happy World Sleep Day!

How familiar are you with sleep culture? We spend a third of our lives in bed, so we are all experts on our own sleep habits, but have you ever wondered what kind of sleep habits other people have all over the world?

Check out our infographic to find out how the world sleeps!

Many of us assume that the whole point of sleeping is to get some rest, and while, if you’re lucky, you do wake up feeling rested, your body isn't ‘resting’ at all. While you’re sleeping, it’s very busy preparing you to take on the next day.

You may have noticed that when you don’t get enough sleep, you have less patience and feel more cranky, but a deficiency of sleep can also lead to all sorts of issues like a weakened immune system, memory issues, weight gain and higher susceptibility to more serious health conditions like heart disease and diabetes. This is because you’re not allowing your body enough time to do all the work it needs to in order to prepare you for the next day.

Our advice: give your body enough time to do all of its work while you’re sleeping so that you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle your day.

Here are six amazing things your body does while you’re sleeping:

Is New York City, really the city that never sleeps? Does it rival the lights of Vegas or the excitement of Miami? What about hundreds of 'sleepy little towns' all throughout the USA? How do US cities stack up in the slumber department?

To answer that question, one must consider all the factors that contribute to sleep loss, like stress, for example.

A new Sleep in the City study, conducted by national research expert Bert Sperling, ranks America's 50 most heavily populated metropolitan cities based on five criteria: the number of days in the past month that residents reported not getting enough sleep or rest, average length of daily commute, divorce rate, unemployment rate, and overall happiness index. The happiness index was derived from questions about a person's physical, mental, and emotional health.

The results were unsurprising: the cities that were best ranked for sleep had higher overall happiness scores and low unemployment rates. The cities that ranked poorly had lower overall happiness scores, higher unemployment rates and reported more stressors like long commutes and higher divorce rates.

So, if you're looking for a dreamy sleep, check out the study's results:
